[quote=Anonymous]First of all, congratulations to you.    Hoping for a healthy pregnancy and birth of your twins.

I totally sympathize - I too went through pregnancy discrimination.     I was shocked because my former boss has children and is an attorney.  Boss have known that actions were egregious and screamed lawsuit.

I was lucky that under FMLA that I was entitled to 12 weeks - former boss demanded I return after 6 weeks.   Former boss tired the temp while I was out on maternity leave for my position and gave me a new job when I came back.  There was verbal abuse upon my return and former boss sabotaged my work to build up a case against to HR.      However, unlike your situation, HR backed me because my previous 5 performance reviews showed exceed expectation.         But I knew I was in a bad situation so I started searching for a job when baby was 4 months old and started another position when baby was 10 months old and have been thriving since!

I know the next few working months will be hard especially with a a verbally abusive manager.  I know, because I too experienced months of abuse.    But if you may need the FMLA and paid leave, be strong.   But during this time maybe try to brush on your resume so that you can send when babies are 3-4 months old?  Or you can maybe search now and negotiate start date for when babies are 3-4 months old?

Wanted to give you some encouragement.
